I waited ninety minutes before I allowed myself to start getting the smallest bit nervous. I wasn’t about to say that I thought Were senses were a precise, infallible science, but I hadn’t even been able to touch base with Maya yet, let alone get a mission update. My stomach kept doing little flips as I tried not to look at my phone.

Another hour crawled past. Nothing. All this inaction was driving me up the wall. Finally, I heaved a sigh and reached for my phone.

Do not act rashly, Victoria. Sometimes tasks require patience and diligence to complete. Let Maya work in her own way—without your distractions.

“It’s not that,” I told him. “I’m just done sitting around. Maya will do her job, I’ve got to do mine.”

The mayor?

“Exactly. Dorias is hoping that if he kills the mayor, Lorcan will let his guard down. But as much as I’d love to see those two assholes duking it out, I can’t allow an innocent person to die. Not if I can stop it. And, it’s the one place we know Dorias will try and go. If I can catch him, maybe I can force him to give up Jules.”

It is worth a try. But how are you going to accomplish that?

“With help,” I said, then hit speed dial.

“Vic?” Namiko answered on the second ring. “What’s going on?”

“A lot.” I sat down on the edge of my mattress in a vain effort to keep my legs from pacing automatically. Instead, one of my feet nervously tapped the floor. “I’ll tell you the whole story later. For now, suffice to say it’s been a weird couple of days, and I need your help.”

“Well…of course I’ll help you if I can.” The ticking of her keyboard started up in the background. “What kind of information are you looking for?”

“It’s about the mayor. Mayor Inglewood. He’s in danger and I need access to him. His meetings, his home address, that kind of stuff. And maybe a way to meet with him face to face. Somehow a crazy email about how the gods are trying to kill him doesn’t sound like it will go over super well.”

“Done,” Namiko said. “Well, not done. It’s beyond my skills. But I’ll pull in some favors. Hell, they may do it just for the fun of messing with a government official—they’ll likely be tickled when I say it’s the mayor of New York. Let me make a few calls and see what I can do.”

“Really?” I breathed half a sigh of relief. “Thanks, Namiko. I don’t know what the hell I would do without you.”

I could hear her tiny laugh. “Neither do I. I’ll call you back in a sec, okay?”

“A sec,” turned into half an hour, but there was a hint of pride in her voice when she called back. “You’ve got a meeting tomorrow. Ready to hear your cover story?”

“Oh, shit. You did it?” Despite the fact that I was the one who’d called her initially, my mind was still a little blown that she had actually managed to pull it off.
